The Honor Code by Anthony Appiah
How Moral Revolutions Happen
This insightful work explores how moral revolutions occur, focusing on the role of honor in shaping societal norms and behaviors. Through historical case studies, it examines how practices once deemed acceptable, such as dueling, foot-binding, and the Atlantic slave trade, were overturned by shifts in the collective sense of honor. The narrative delves into the complex interplay between ethical reasoning and the social pressures of honor, illustrating how these forces can drive significant cultural and moral change.
